Hello all,
I'm almost embarrassed to post this , it seems so easy.  Suppose I have a
baseline and follow up survey but some people are missing in the follow up:

> baseline<-data.frame(id=c(3,5,7,9,12), data= runif(5))
> follow.up<-data.frame(id=c(3,7,9,12), data= runif(4))
> baseline
  id       data
1  3 0.66771988
2  5 0.28794744
3  7 0.01892821
4  9 0.64863175
5 12 0.86485882
> follow.up
  id      data
1  3 0.8237210
2  7 0.8140544
3  9 0.8803674
4 12 0.8031520

Here, in follow up we are missing person #5.  I need to delete him from the
baseline, so that I have an equal number of rows once again.  Obviously

baseline<-baseline[-2,] won't cut it here, since in my data set I have
thousands of people.

Thanks in advance

Justin
